But we haven't had one in a few years. Our congregation numbers are dwindling as well. Our newish pastor is older. I think between the Ecumenical dinners and other Lenten activities, Maundy Thursday Service, Easter Egg Hunt and fair, and readying for two Easter Services, that asking for another service would just sink her.

Despite all of those services, I always felt that I was able to take more meaning away from the Tennebrae Service. Maybe it's because I didn't have anything to do during that one and could just listen and meditate. I'm actively involved in all the others so I'm concentrating more on procedure, what's next, etc.
